Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a radio frequency (RF) front-end circuit having an embedded antenna, and particularly relates to a borrowing A method, an RF front end circuit, and a filter correction system for tuning an RF front end circuit to a desired RF bandwidth using a 〇n chip negative trans-conductance circuit to form an oscillator. [Prior Art] RF receivers are widely used in televisions, cellular phones, pagers, global positioning system (GPS) receivers, cable modems, wireless phones, radios that receive RF signals, and others. device. For example, in the United States, for frequency modulate (hereinafter referred to as FM) audio broadcasting, (10) audio signals are broadcast in a frequency range of 76 MHz to 10 〇 8 MHz. In conventional terrestrial audio broadcast systems, a filtering circuit is typically used to filter out unwanted portions of the signal spectrum received via the antenna. Therefore, the filter circuit (at least - part) filters the input signal to a desired portion of the channel or RF signal spectrum. For example, for FM terrestrial audio broadcasting, the chopper circuit described above can help tune the receiver to the desired FM channel. FM receivers typically use headphone lines as the primary long antenna. The problem is that after the earphone is disconnected from the receiving H, there is no signal reception. Therefore, the user needs a receiver with an embedded antenna, and the embedded antenna should provide support for receiving FM signals with 4 201134091. Similarly, in a second application, the user needs to obtain a sound _ FM from the digital library (the fourth out of the four (4)) equipment to send the material path, to outline, in order to play on the car radio while driving. The FM transmitter described above also allows the ribbed antenna to be used for transmission. The figure is a schematic diagram of the antenna 12 in the printed circuit board (hereinafter referred to as "the printed circuit board"). The embedded antenna 12 can be implemented in a number of different ways = for example, there is no ground layer under it (gr_d la (four) pcB routing). The melon antenna 12 can also be formed by a simple wire (We) wrapped around the outer casing of a device such as a mobile phone. The embedded antenna 12 is used as an antenna for FM and other broadcast applications. The embedded antenna 12' has a length much smaller than the signal wavelength (~length) of the signal received through the embedded antenna^. The equivalent circuit model is only a capacitor, which is referred to herein as %. For example, the equivalent capacitor CANT of the embedded antenna 12 may have a range of l-l〇PF. The reception of the embedded antenna u is tens of dB lower than that of the conventional long antenna for FM reception. In order to increase the signal level at the output of the antenna, a shunt inductor and a dedicated electric valley spectrum (in contrast to (10) Xiannao) of the embedded antenna 12 can be used to form a high resonance (high q) to obtain a voltage gain. The desired bandwidth width is usually broadband and must be tuned to the tank spectral frequency. In the prior art, an array of crystal-loaded capacitors is used in which a plurality of capacitor branches in parallel are switched in parallel to convert the resonant frequency. However, there is still a problem in the prior art, namely how to automatically and accurately measure the frequency of the oscillation of the groove to tune it to an appropriate value. 201134091 Therefore, there is a need for an improved method of tuning an in-line antenna system. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of this, the following technical solutions are provided: The embodiment of the present invention provides a radio frequency front-end circuit, including a tunable filter, and a negative transconductance circuit, which is connected to a tunable spectral filter to generate a tone. Spectral disk signal; counter, used to tune the neon of the neon; and the control circuit, the filter is adjusted by the filter to move the scale, until the frequency of the tune domain is switched to an acceptable frequency. Fan _, the acceptable thickness of the shot corresponds to the channel band of .

The filter correction system and the tuned RF front-end circuit can quickly and automatically tune the frequency of the RF front-end circuit. The implementation method] - The patent application scope of the book and the money is used to form a certain side to refer to the special reading. Those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that hardware manufacturers may use different nouns to refer to the elements of _. The scope of this specification and the subsequent patent application do not use the difference in name as the means of distinguishing the elements, and the difference in the elements is used as the criterion for distinguishing. The term "including" as used throughout the specification and subsequent claims is an open-ended term and should be interpreted as "including but not limited to". In addition, the term "light" - the term "includes any direct and indirect connection means" as described in the text: "the device-connected to the second device" means that the device can be directly electrically connected to the first device. The second device is electrically connected to the second device indirectly through other devices or connection means. The present invention provides a radio frequency front end circuit with an enhanced tuning method. Figure 2 is a functional block diagram of the RF front end circuit 100. The RF front end circuit 100 includes a tunable filter 102 that is controlled by a tuning control signal 24 output by the control circuit 112. The negative transconductance path 104 is connected to the tunable spectral filter 1〇2. During resonance, the negative transconductance of the negative transconductance circuit cancels the slot loss of other components in the RF front end circuit 100 to maintain oscillation and produce a modulated 201134091 谙 oscillation signal 122. The delta sigma 110 measures the oscillating frequency of the tuned oscillating signal 122 to calculate a count value. During the tuning process, during a counting period, the counter 11 〇 counts the number of pulse waves received by the resonant chirp signal 122 to calculate the above count value. At the same time, with the help of the crystal-loaded precision clock, the control circuit 112 calculates that the RF front-end circuit 1 is properly tuned to the correct frequency, that is, the desired channel frequency band, and modulates the surface of the oscillation signal 122 during the counting period. Wave number i. Weaving, counting n 11G material count & to _ circuit 112, in order to let the control circuit 112 count the number of unscheduled jobs. The RF front end circuit 1 is considered to be properly tuned if the count value received from the counter 11A is sufficiently close to the expected value calculated by the control circuit 112, or within a predetermined range. If the count value is not within the predetermined fineness of the expected value, the female (four) way 112 changes the value of the Weichi view 124 to adjust the adjustable wave former 102' to adjust the oscillation frequency of the modulated oscillation signal 122. Once the oscillating frequency of the modulated resonant signal 122 is within an acceptable range of the desired channel band, the control circuit m latches the Oatch) desired value of the modulating control signal m, and then the negative transconductance circuit 104 is operated in the normal mode. The negative transconductance 1()4 generates a spectral excitation signal 122 for tuning or tuning the frequency of the RF front end circuit 1〇〇. The counter (10) subtracts the count _ of the modulo vibration number 122 and supplies the number of feeds to the control circuit U2 as feedback. Using the tunable waver 〇2, the negative transconductance circuit ι4, the counter, and the feedback loop formed by the control circuit 112, the frequency of the pedestal circuit can be tuned quickly, accurately, and automatically. Figure 3 is a frequency tuning 8 201134091 performed by the RF terminal circuit 1 shown in Fig. 2; Γ150 is the RF front-end circuit 1〇. Selecting the desired line: Wave: Harmonic: _122 uses the negative span conduction _ and the frequency of the adjustable surface signal 122 to count after two steps: 154, the counter is counted by the counter 110 and then 'in step 156, the control circuit 112 determines The tuning 峨 122 is in the range of money _. If yes, step (158) is performed at step (10). At step 158 112, the frequency of the relay signal 122 is converted by the tone control signal _ adjuster _1. The above method of phasing ends in step 160. The figure is a detailed diagram of a front end of a radio frequency transceiver according to an embodiment of the invention. Figure 5 is an equivalent circuit diagram simulating the front-end circuit of a part of the RF transceiver and its effect on the resulting increase in the vibrating rate. The shunt inductor 郷 is summed with all the power connected to / 皋, and the resulting resonant frequency is equal to the desired channel frequency band. The white-lighting circuit 308 can be controlled to modulate the spectrum for different desired RF channels (toward the resonant frequency described above. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, the negative transconductance circuit 3 〇 4 of FIG. 4 corresponds to The negative transconductance circuit UM of Fig. 2, the shunt inductor section of Fig. 4 and the tunable capacitance circuit 3〇8 correspond to the tunable spectral filter 1〇2 of Fig. 2, and the digital counter of Fig. 4 corresponds to The counter 110 of FIG. 2 and the digital signal processor of FIG. 4 (DSpm2 corresponds to the control circuit 112 of FIG. 2.

The tunable capacitor circuit 308 is a variable crystal-load capacitor circuit that can be discrete or continuous depending on the application and output by the DSP 312. The modulating control signal 324 is controlled. The tunable spectral capacitor circuit 3 〇 8 is implemented with an equivalent inductance E CVAR. The crystal carrying negative transconductance circuit 3 〇 4 is used to provide a negative transconductance and oscillate with the resonant tank. Negative transconductance circuit 304 It is simulated as the equivalent resistance ^ and the equivalent capacitance c will be connected. At the secret time, the negative transconductance of the negative transconductance circuit 3〇4 offsets the slot loss of other components in the RF transceiver front-end circuit 300 to maintain Record and generate the modulating and oscillating signal function. 201134091 In the embodiment, tunable The capacitor circuit includes a capacitor array and may be a crystal carrier or an extra-crystalline component. The capacitance value of the tunable spectral capacitor circuit may be discrete or continuous 'and the tunable capacitor circuit is controlled by the tuning control signal 324, and this The control can be digital, analog, or analog-to-analog hybrid. In the implementation, the _capacitor circuit is a capacitor _, and the tunable capacitor circuit and the shunt inductor _ are connected to the signal path using the shunt configuration. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the embedded antenna 3〇2 and the shunt inductor 3〇6 are externally connected to the 7L piece', and the negative transconductance circuit and the tunable capacitor circuit are systematically loaded. During the correction mode, the negative transconductance circuit 304 is enabled, and the digital counter refers to a reference clock CLKref to measure the decrement frequency of the modulating slit signal 322. The reference clock CI^Kref is substantially constant clock frequency. It can be used as a reference for counting other signals. For example, the reference clock CLKref can be the % MHz clock generated by the crystal. The digital counter can be integrated into the crystal carrier component by reference to the pulse CLKref. During the period, the digital counter 31 calculates the count value by counting the pulse wave of the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The number of pulses received by the icicle _ 2 is counted to calculate the count value. At the same time, the DSP 312 calculates the expected number of pulses of the t-oscillation 322, which is the number of pulses of the RF transceiver front-end circuit 3 The number that should be received during the counting period when properly tuned to the correct frequency. The 'counter counter 31' then outputs the count value to the chord 312 to allow the DSP 312 to compare the push value to the expected number of pulses. (10) The RF transceiver front end circuit 300 is considered to be properly tuned to receive the 2011 34091 count value sufficiently close to the expected value calculated by the DSP 312, or within a predetermined range. If the count value is not within the predetermined range of the expected value, the DSP 312 changes the value of the tuning control signal 324 to adjust the variable capacitance CVAR of the tunable capacitance circuit 308 to adjust the oscillating frequency of the tuned oscillating signal 322. Once the oscillating frequency of the tuned oscillating signal 322 is within an acceptable range, the Dsp 312 latches the desired value of the tuning control signal 324, and then the negative transconductance circuit 3 〇 4 is disabled for normal mode operation. Thus, using the above described method, the negative transconductance circuit 304 produces a modulated resonant signal 322 for adjusting or tuning the frequency of the RF transceiver front end circuit 300. The digital counter 310 counts the vibrating frequency of the resonant chirp signal 322 and provides the above count value to the DSP 312 for feedback. Using the feedback loop, the frequency of the RF transceiver front end circuit 300 can be quickly and automatically tuned. Please continue to refer to Figure 4. The RF transceiver front-end circuit 3 has the function of transmitting an RF signal and receiving an RF signal. For receiving the RF signal, a crystal carrier low noise amplifier (hereinafter referred to as LNA) 314 is used to amplify the received RF signal received through the embedded antenna 302 to generate an amplified received RF signal. The crystal-carrying receive mixer 316 is for frequency down-converting the amplified received RF signal for subsequent processing. The input impedance of the LNA 314 can be modeled as the parallel connection of the equivalent resistance RLNA and the equivalent capacitance Clna. For transmitting RF signals, a crystal-loaded power amplifier (hereinafter abbreviated as PA) 318 is used to amplify the RF signals to be transmitted to generate amplified RF signals transmitted through the embedded antenna 302. The PA 318 can be implemented as a parallel connection of the equivalent capacitor CPA and the equivalent resistor RPA and the equivalent current source IpA. 12 201134091 Figure 6 is a block diagram of the RF receiver front end circuit 400. Unlike the RF transceiver front-end circuit shown in Figure 4, the RF receiver front-end circuit 4 receives only the RF signal but does not include the transmitter function. Therefore, the pA318 for transmitting the RF signal is not included in the RF receiver front-end circuit 4A. All of the other components in the RF Receiver Front End Circuit 4' have the same function as described above for the RF Transceiver Front End Circuit. Figure 7 is a block diagram of the RF transmitter front-end circuit 5〇〇. Unlike the RF^1 发 刖 terminal circuit 3〇〇 shown in Figure 4, the RF transmitter front-end circuit 5〇〇 transmits only the RF heartbeat but does not include the receiver function. Therefore, the receiving RF signal 314 and the mixer 316 are not included in the RF transmitter front end circuit 5 〇〇 +. For all other components in the RF Transmitter Front End Circuit 500, it is the same as described above for the RF Transceiver $ Front End Circuit 300. The RF transceiver front end circuit 300, the RF receiver front end circuit 4, and the RF transmitter front end circuit 500+ are adapted to receive or transmit FM radio signals. The embedded antenna can be less than X/4, or even smaller than the wavelength of the trace, which is related to the tuning frequency required for the RF front-end circuitry used to transmit or receive the signal. In addition to being simple, the touch method proposed by the present invention has the additional advantage of using the solution proposed by the present invention as 'a touch algorithm for receiving H or a transmitter and a synthesizer for generating a local vibrator. The touch method used to control the vibrator (hereinafter referred to as VCO) is very similar. Therefore, vc〇 and embedded antenna hunting can reuse the same digital hardware. This way, no extra digital hardware is needed. 201134091 The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and those who are familiar with the present invention will make (4) changes and modifications according to the spirit of the present invention, and (4) cover the scope of the application within the scope of _ [Simple Description] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an embedded antenna formed on a PCB.
